BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

From the duties 70 which you're bound,
And to join with them in their idle play,
To wh.rl in their giddy round,
Reflect moment before you take
A course you may sadly rue,
And for your own and dear ones sake.
Be true to yourself-be truei
There'll come time-for II comes 70 ALL
When Satan, with purpose strong,

On you TO defend the wrong;
And though he endeavors to blind your eyes,
Your doubts and fears to subdue,
Stand up for the right, and without disguise,
Be true to yourself-be true
Be true TO yourself each hour Of the day,
So honestly, fearlessly true,
That neither foe nor friend may say
That he was deceived in you;
Let Honor be set in the highest place.
Secure from the reach Of pelf
And in every case, by an act Of grace,
Be true-O, be true to yourselfl
o, would that maxim % wise Is this,
Would reach to the Utmost heart

Whatever the task you pursue,
